Abstract
The use of ultrafine powders in the micro-cold spray (MCS) process, also referred to as the aerosol deposition method, typically results in porous and/or poorly adhering films because the particles do not impact at a high enough velocity for sufficient plastic deformation and interparticle bonding to occur. Under typical operating conditions, particles < 100 nm accelerate to high velocities but then are slowed by the stagnant gas in the bow shock that forms just upstream of the substrate. Using larger particles reduces particle slowing, but large particles can cause erosion of the film at high impact velocity, decreasing deposition efficiency. In this study, a pressure relief channel nozzle using helium as a carrier gas is proposed such that high-velocity deposition of yttria-stabilized zirconia particles as small as 10 nm in diameter is possible. This is well below the size range of powders previously used for MCS. The proposed nozzle design increases impact velocities for 10, 20, and 50 nm particles by ~ 880, 560, and 160 m/s, respectively, when compared to a conventional nozzle. Experimental deposition of ultrafine 8YSZ powder shows that the pressure relief channel nozzle results in lower porosity and more uniform deposits, with a ∼ 186% increase in deposition efficiency.
